—Telkwa Friday

The 1935 convention of District B

Farmers’ Institutes held in Telkwa on
Friday last, afternoon and evening, a8
well as some work in the morning, was
the best yet heli. Delegates were in
“attendance from many parts: of the
interior and all were delighted with
the mectings and with what was ac-
canplished. ,

Denn F. M. Clement, of the faculty

of agriculture at the University of B.
Cc. and Deputy Minister J. B.’ Munro
of the department of agriculture and
‘ superintendent of formers’ institutes
were present anid gave valuable infor-
mation on problems af special interest
to the farmers and on mutters that
had been brought up for discussion.
Roth gentlemen gave addresses during
the afternoon and again in the. even-
ing ata well attended pubdtic- gather-
iz in the big hall

During the afternoon some twenty -
tre resolutions were brought up and

dixcusxed aud a goad deal of valuable

information was given on these yari-

uns subjects, all“of which dealt with
agrieniture amd land settlement in the
interior.

There was geueral regret that the
minister of agtieniture, of the local
members of Skeena und Onineca were
muible te attend and listen to the pro-
evedings of the meeting. It was felt
that these men might: have gained a
lot of information and it wns also felt
that the meeting: might have benefit-
ted by the observ ations of those mem-
hers. '

of nu adjusted land policy fox the in

was also made manifest that agticul-
ture in the interior must adjust. itself

“ato meet changing conditions, and, it
the discussion sume pertinent sugges-
tions for this accomplishment were
brought forward.

The influence of the organization
was committed to a reviewing of the
issuing of tie contracts with a view to

headed the caravan through B.C, some
years ago, there was very decided op-
position from some. quarters, and not

wily that did come from the north was,
very effective because it came from

cent months senie of those opposed to
the Great North Rond have seen a
yew light and are now quite prepareil

There is not the least deubt but that
the construction of the north road
would have. and would yet. relieve
entirely. the unemployed situation in
this province, Thousands of men

Hon. Pattullo a
Visitor Here a
Hour or Two}

Hon. T. D. Pattulle, accompanied
by his secretary, Mr, “Cartwright, and
by BD. T. Kenney, M.L.A, arrived. in
Hazelton last Thursday morning and.
later in the morning drove through
New Hazelton to Smithers and then on
to Burns Lake for the night and on to
Pyince George for a luncheon at noon
on Friday. The Premier was just
“doing” the north for. the purpose of
getting first hand information as to
how the people were getting on and as
to how the people felt towards his gov
ernment. The Premler’s own car met
him in Hazelton and he used it right
through to Vaneouver, this enabling
him to visit many points and to talk
to many people enroute. The Premier
was in Terrace Monday night and
Tuesday returning to the coast that
evening to address the Gyro Club at a
Iunchoen on Wednesdry. He then
resumed his journey enst. The Pre-
mier told the Herald that he did not
consider this a good senson to hold
public meetings, but it was on {deal
time to see the country and size up
what the prospects were for the future
of the people who are endeavoring to
develop the farms and natural resour-
ces. He was muking speeches only at
luncheons are’ similar events, but he
did expect to get a lot of information.

Premier Pattullo was looking well,
and he said he never felt better,- but
he ndmitted that the last two years
hive been very hard ones. One would
almost suspect that he would have en-
